Hansi Flick expressed confidence that 18-year-old Lamine Yamal will win the Ballon d'Or one day and noted Yamal is among this year’s favourites alongside Ousmane Dembélé. Several Barcelona players are nominated across categories, including Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Pedri for the men's Ballon d'Or, and six players for the women's prize. Flick is nominated for coach of the year after guiding Barcelona to LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa. Flick plans to attend the Paris ceremony out of respect. Yamal is also up for the Kopa Trophy but is absent from a league match due to a groin problem and is being managed day by day; Alejandro Balde remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is expected to return soon.
